DIA MIRZA, Actor

I WOULD LOVE TO go back to Yala National Park, Sri Lanka. My childhood friend, Ananya, and I did a short three-night trip there in early February 2020, and the experience was too magical and too short! There was still so much to soak up, absorb, learn, and enjoy. The Wild Coast Tented Lodge (resplendentceylon.com) at Yala offers the most sustainable luxury accommodation, and the most breathtaking wildlife and natural world experiences.

I’D GO TO PARIS. Anywhere you go in the city is stunningly beautiful. I’d make sure I visit Montmartre, especially the Sacré-Cœur Basilica; the Musée du Louvre; and walk along the banks of the River Seine.

HUMA QURESHI, Actor

THE FIRST PLACE I want to go to is to my home in Delhi and meet my parents. Maybe, after that, I’ll head to the Bahamas to sit on the beach and relax!

POOJA HEGDE, Actor

NEXT UP, I’M GOING to do a beach vacation. I’ve done too many winter vacations, so I think it’s time to bring out my bikini now. I want to go to the Maldives and indulge in good food, water activities, and basically just relax and do nothing for some time. Meanwhile, I’m going to be working on that beach body!
